THE COAL-TRADE EMBARGO.
No Coal Of Any Sort To Be Handled at
New York by Members of the Union.
Supply for Ocean Steamers and New York and
Brooklyn Consumers Cut 0ff-A Combina-
tion That Promises Serious Results.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The struggle of the
striking longshoremen. that has, to ce rtain
extent, become merged into that of the coal
handlers, was transferred to a field of wider pro-
portions to-day when it became known that the
Knights of Labor had decided that no coal of
any sort should be handled in the port of New
York by union men, on the ground that all coal
in the harbor now has been put aboard the barges
By non-union men. Thus the transferring of
coal to transatlantic and coastwise steamships
cannot be undertaken by any union man, and
the supply of coal to consumers in this city,
Brooklyn and other points around the harbor of
New York cannot be replenished by union men.
The effect of the carrying out of the order of the
Knights not to load coal became Immediately ap-
parent all along the river fronts All the ocean and
coastwise steamship lines, with fewexceptons,
suddenly found themselves deserted by the
union 1ongshoremen wherever there was coal to
be transferred the vessels The exceptions
were a few lines which employ their coal
shovelers by the week. The order not to handle
coal also extends to union men outside the port OF
New York. Even far as New Orleans it is
said that the union 1ongshoremen and others
are under obligation not to load vessels with
coal With the success of the coal-handlers the
1ongshoremen it is stated, could easily force the
transatlantic and coastwise steampship lines to
refuse TO nanQlo OIQ dominion freight Inc
question of ordering general strike Of the
longshoremen is being considered so it is said,
by the executive board of the Ocean Association

ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, affiict the
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease is also
attended with Hoarseness, and some-
times Loss of Voice. It is liable to be-
come chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayers Cherry Pecto-
raj affords speedy relief and cure in cases
of Bronchitis. It controls the disposition
to cough, and induces refreshing sleep.
I have been practising physician for
twenty-four years, and, for the past

MooRE's HILL, Jan. 26.-It has just been dis
covered that the domesticated fish in the numer-
GUS ponds in this locality are dead. In the last
five years fish culture in this part of Indiana has
become quite an industry, nearly every farmer
having made and stocked a pond with German
carp The recent warm weather melted the thin
ice on the ponds and now large numbers of
these fish Of all sizes may be seen floating dead
upon the surface of the WATERPROOF remunera-

theories are advanced to explain the mystery,
but none of them tangible.
